Bat his appeal seemed in vain. In those taps, as well as at the present time, once the not believe there were marble deposits in Colorado. Gould finally succeeded, however, In securing the Mention of James Bailey, the leading wholesale marble dealer of New Tork City, and the best marble expert in the United States at that time. In 1898 hr. Bailey visited the deposit in order to ascertain its worth. When he ntumed to New Tork he startled the nurble dealers there by declaring the deposit the greatest In Amrelca. He id the marble could not be qaurrled wt In 100 years and that there was more marble here than in the quarries f Georgia, Tennessee and Vermont people did New York parties who had been stockholders in the old company, which failed during the panic. Mr. Shaw Informed these parties that he was going to visit the marble quarries. He declared that a fortune could lie made out of It If the ledges contained large quantities as good as the samples he had seen. Mr. Shaw canto to Sallda last June and proceeded to the quarry grounds without revealing his identity or the purpose of his visit. He spent two months alone in the hills studying the deposit, collecting samples and proving the ledges. He returned to New York City the first of August and laid the facts before some of the leading marble dealers there. He prouounced the ledge the greatest in America and the marble equal in quality to that of the quarries of Italy and Greece. The American Marble and Onyx comtiany was Immediately organised and the quarry purchased for 8150,000. F. G. Howard, a cousin of the veteran war chief, was made president and Mr. Shaw superintendent, Mr. Shaw placed several thousand dollars In the treasury and hurried back to Colorado. He secured. a force of men and put them to work constructing a toad. In the meantime he ordered $50,000 worth of machinery and by the first of December had the plant In successful operation. The quarry now presents the appearance of a small city. Residences sufficient to accommodate fifty men have been erected, telephone connection secured and a mall service inaugurated. At present the marble Is being hauled to the Cleora yards In wagons and placed on the cars. It seems incredible that Colorado will soon lead the states In marble production, but It is true. A car load of the Sallda product has been forwarded to the world's fair grounds at St Louis and will be placed in the Colorado mineral exhibit. The chief points of superiority possessed by the Colorado marble over the Tennessee and Vermont products are Its texture, rare colors, metallic soundness and possibility of polish. From the thirty varieties found here samples hare been taken that are said to be absolutely the most beautiful to be found In the world. For Instance, the ledge of beautiful pink is wonderful. When polished Its hues are as delicate and beautiful ae the colors of a Colorado sunset Shaw has chiseled I Superintendent many beatulful pieces of statuary from Greek and Italian marble. He has also used much of the Vermont product. Tiffany of New York City was Mr. Shaws American agent and found a large sale for his work In America. For statuary purposes Mr. Shaw says the Colorado marble Is far superior to that of Tennessee, Georgia or Vermont and equally as good as the best Italian product from which have been chiseled the statues that now adorn the great art galleries of the world.

According to the New Haven, Conn., Register, the J. M. Guffey Petroleum company, which is a $15,000,000 corporation, has decided to establish a great distributing station at West Haven. The feature of the article that will appeal to readers here Is that which shows that the company Is a competitor of the Standard Oil, a fact which places the Guffey-Gale- y syndicate's movements In this section In an entirely different light, for it was thought by many that they were connected with the trust crowd. On the subject the paper mentioned says: The Guffey Petroleum company was recently organised in Pittsburg with a capital stock of $15,000,000, and handles oils from the Texas wells, almost entirely. These It refines Into illuminating oils nnd is said to be In direct competition with the Standard Oil company. It is well rated by the commercial agencies. It ia probably because of the fact that they are In competition with the Standard company that It was desired that no publicity should be given the matter until the company was ready to announce Its plans. The Guffey company has a station at Beverly, miles outside Mass., about twenty-fiv- e of Boston, and It is there that Mr. RAks spends much of his time. "It is understood that the company now proposes to use its newly acquired property In West Haven for a southern New England distributing station. The refined product Is to be brought here either by water or rail, aa the case may be, and stored here In a large number of tanks. Offices will have to be built on the upland near First avenue, West Haven, and on or between Maple and Thompson street. Barns and sheds will be constructed In due time, it Is understood, for the oils are to be distributed by wqgon gen erally, if the plans do not fall through, in much the same way as the Standard Oil company conducts Its business.
